Dove: east-west oval solitaire

What this ring is made of

Oval, set east-west

An elongated brilliant that tends to look larger face-up than a round of the same weight, and the length can make a finger look longer. Some ovals show a darker band across the middle, called a bow-tie, so look at the stone in person or on video.

East-west

The stone lies across the finger instead of along it, which gives a wider, lower look and suits long shapes like ovals, marquises and emerald cuts.

Compass prongs

Four claws sit at the four compass points of the stone, which suits long shapes set sideways.

18k yellow gold

18k yellow gold is 75% pure gold, so the color is rich and warm. It is softer than 14k, which means it scratches a little more easily and can wear at the prongs sooner.
